Long hours at a desk or frequent mobile use in Kolkata can contribute to poor posture and shoulder discomfort. However, shoulder pain can also result from muscle strain, tendon problems, arthritis or an injury.
• Maintain a comfortable sitting posture and take regular breaks from desk work.
• Avoid heavy lifting or movements that increase your pain.
• Consult a doctor if pain persists, returns frequently or limits your shoulder movement.
The cause of shoulder pain varies from person to person, so the right treatment depends on a proper medical assessment. Seek emergency medical attention if sudden shoulder pain occurs with chest pressure, breathlessness or sweating.
